I have been a house sitter - looking after folks' homes while they travel. After driving around Australia on my own I have settled at Beachmere, north of Brisbane. Now it's time to write.

Winter and no house sitting

I'm rather pleased I don't have a house sit at the moment. It is so cold right now - in fact the coldest June day in over 80 years. A good time to be at home.Last year I went away with a friend for a couple of nights and a similar but not so severe cold snap made our first night very very uncomfortable. Last night the westerlies howled around the house and it was good to curl up on my own bed and keep warm.The cold wind seems to penetrate all one's clothes - very hard to keep warm.I've been looking at all the house sitting opportunties - but the dates and places are not suitable to me. It is hard when I am working right now.

My Journey

This blog has been about my 'house sitting' where I have spent weeks, or months caring for the home and pets of folks who travel. I too have enjoyed much travel, detailed in this blog and Adventures of an Aussie English Teacher. At the end of 2012, I set off on another adventure - driving on my own around Australia, taking photos, writing, blogging, and perhaps getting occasional opportunities to do workshops on Blogging, Writing, Writing Life Stories, Creating E-books, Photobooks, or Bamboo.

I left Brisbane on November 25th, 2012, returning on April 30th, 2013. In June I moved to Beachmere, Queensland.
